Abstract
The term “information society” was first used in a 1972 Japanese futurological study (Japanese Computer Usage Development Institute 1972), in which the time perspective was limited to the year 2000. If the visions of this study were to become reality, a “computer mind” should have been established through education by the year 1985. A different perspective emerges from a new Japanese futurological study from 1985 (National Institute for Research Development 1985), which contains an example that illustrates the effects of a longer period of computer usage on one’s confidence in one’s actions.
